A widower's entertainment

Chapter 206 [Choice of Tengu]

Baodao director Hou Xiaoxian won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival for "The Devotion of Suspect Or in the mainland, really shocking news has exploded.

The news media on Baodao are naturally reporting on the director Hou Xiaoxian and his movies, but for mainland film workers, although they are also discussing movies and directors, they are also discussing "Suspect X" written by Lin Youcheng. The story of "Devotion".

Director Wu Ziniu looked at Lin Youcheng and sighed: "That director Hou Xiaoxian is really amazing. The film "The Devotion of Suspect X" actually won the Palme d'Or."

"The Palme d'Or!
Wu Ziniu's words were full of envy. As a film director, there is no one who doesn't want to win an award, let alone the Palme d'Or, the highest award at the Cannes Film Festival.

"I really want to see this movie he made. I don't know what kind of directing style he has."

When Lin Youcheng heard what Wu Ziniu said, he raised his eyebrows. He knew very clearly that Hou Xiaoxian was an important representative of the Baodao New Film Movement. His works are known for their unique narrative style, slow motion, long shots, and historical and realistic themes. famous for its discussions.

Just like the evaluation of Hou Xiaoxian in later generations, the most appropriate one is what his screenwriter who has collaborated with him the most said, Hou Xiaoxian, the director is basically a lyric poet rather than a storyteller, and the characteristics of the films he makes are , also here, is lyrical rather than narrative and dramatic.

At this moment, Lin Youcheng suddenly seemed to think of why director Hou Xiaoxian was able to win the Palme d'Or for "The Devotion of Suspect X". Maybe it was because this story was particularly suitable for Hou Xiaoxian. After all, there are always many ordinary movies in Hou Xiaoxian's Ordinary details of life.

The important features of Hou's style are long shots, empty shots and fixed camera shots. The performance is often not single, but is accompanied by voice-over. The simple shot content is not monotonous under the dragging of vivid voice-over. It doesn't make you look longer, but gives off a subtle and restrained style.

Lin Youcheng listened to Wu Ziniu's words and asked, "Is it possible to pass up there?"

Wu Ziniu said seriously: "There must be no compromise on the ending of this movie. Li Tiangou is an uncompromising person!"

While talking about the movie "The Devotion of Suspect X", Wu Ziniu also talked about the movie "Tengu" he was going to film.

Wu Ziniu nodded and said, "If you have the chance, you must get to know Director Hou Xiaoxian."

"Don't worry, there will be a chance."

The creative style is characterized by slowness, tranquility and authenticity. He presents the story from the perspective of an observer. Through static shooting and long shots, he shows the subtle changes in life and the emotional ups and downs of the characters. His unique techniques in lens movement and editing make the film's narrative more natural and smooth, leaving the audience with a lasting impression. Make a deep impression.

"Let Bayi Film Studio figure this out, not to mention the ending like you said before. The key now is the role of Li Tiangou. We must find a suitable actor. This drama relies on him to support it."

This point, whether it is the original commercial film or the later art film or artistic commercial film, the Hou Xiaoxian hidden in it has not changed. It can be said that Director Hou is actually a director who has the courage to explore and innovate and who works tirelessly in the film world. Movie warriors who are looking for a cinematic space that can replace the depth of words.

"If it works, I will definitely make a good movie on "Tengu"."

Lin Youcheng nodded and said, "Yes, the role of Li Tiangou is very crucial, and the whole drama depends on him."

Lin Youcheng said with a smile: "Not everyone is talking about opening up the treasure island to visit relatives on the mainland. I believe that there can definitely be exchanges in the film industry."

Lin Youcheng said, also seriously thinking about the actor who is suitable for the role of Li Tiangu now.

To really talk about it, the original version of Fu Dalong is definitely quite suitable, but it is definitely not possible now.

Li Tiangu is a real man, a man who will not compromise even if his bones are broken. An actor's name flashed through Lin Youcheng's mind and he asked, "What do you think of Jiang Wen?"

"Jiang Wen?"

Wu Ziniu asked: "That Jiang Wen who plays Puyi?"

Lin Youcheng nodded.

In fact, few people know that Jiang Wen also played Puyi. In 1985, Jiang Wen was spotted by director Chen Jialin and starred in the film "The Last Queen" as Aisin Giorro Puyi. For this role, he searched a lot of historical information about Aisin Gioro Pu Yi, and also visited Aisin Gioro Pu Yi's younger brother, Aisin Gioro Pu Jie. Finally, he successfully created this image and was shortlisted for the best award. Actor Award.

Wu Ziniu thought for a moment and said, "You can talk to him."

……

Zhang Guoshi, who is filming the movie "Red Sorghum", has no idea that someone is interested in his leading actor. Now he is just sighing about Hou Xiaoxian's Palme d'Or, saying: "The Palme d'Or, it's really amazing."

"Actually, I also like Lin Youcheng's novel "The Devotion of Suspect X" very much, and I have thought about adapting and filming this novel before."

"But if I were to take pictures, the Palme d'Or would never have occurred to me."

As the male protagonist of "Red Sorghum", Jiang Wen said: "Is there anything I shouldn't think about?"

"Isn't it just the Palme d'Or from the three major awards? As long as the film is good enough, there are no awards that can be won."

When Zhang Guoshi heard what Jiang Wen said, he couldn't help but shook his head and said, "I don't know how director Hou Xiaoxian made that movie "The Devotion of Suspect X"."

"I was asked to film "The Devotion of Suspect X" so that the protagonist would not be discovered. Since it is a perfect crime method, no one will discover it."

Jiang Wen said: "I have to say that the story written by Lin Youcheng is so special. The plot of the story is very dramatic. I actually really want to challenge the role of Shi Hong, who is so reserved and calm. To commit such a crime for a woman and to vomit my soul in the end, I don’t know how to act.”

Zhang Guoshi nodded and said, "That scene was indeed difficult to perform."

"I actually really want to collaborate with Lin Youcheng. I like several of his novels very much. The recently released "Tengu" is also very suitable for adaptation into a movie."

Jiang Wen nodded and said, "You are right."

"The novel "Tengu" is very dramatic. If it were to be made into a movie, I really want to play the role of Li Tengu. This character is a real man."

Zhang Guoshi raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "You are indeed quite suitable for the role of Li Tiangou."

After Jiang Wen heard Zhang Guoshi's words, he couldn't help but said: "When I return to the capital tomorrow, I will also go find Lin Youcheng to see if I can talk about his "Tiangu" and make a movie. Check out the big film festivals.”
